The Semi-Final 1 of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2020 between India and England will be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney.
Both India and England are battling their top order. While Shafali Verma has contributed consistently for India, Smriti Mandhana, aside from missing one game thanks to flu, has not been ready to fire. The much-acclaimed opening pair of Danielle Wyatt and Amy Ellen Jones has not produced the results either.
In their last league match, England promoted Tammy Beaumont to open with Wyatt. While Beaumont was dismissed for nought, the separation of the erstwhile openers possibly worked as both scored 20-odd runs.
In the total of 20 T20Is played between the 2 teams, England have won 15 and India have won only 4. Out of the last 5 T20 games, England have registered victories in four while India have won just one .
The run-scoring onus would again get on Heather Knight and Natalie Sciver. the 2 have done the majority of the scoring for England within the tournament.
For India, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma have had good outings with the bat. If either of Smriti Mandhana or Harmanpreet Kaur can find form during this game, it might be a blessing for India
Sophie Ecclestone and Anya Shrubsole are the highest wicket-takers for England, both with 8 scalps each. Ecclestone has been much more economical.
For India, Poonam Yadav is leading the wicket charts with 9 wickets while Shikha Pandey is that the next best with 7 scalps.
